When I type the first word's letters are always mixed up

using an Apple extended USB keyboard that came with my mac pro (2x 3ghz Dual Core Xeon processor, 18gb 667MHz RAM)
It's like the Mac cant react fast enough to catch the first one or two letters and it just inserts them into the middle of the first word.
like "Hello" would be "ellHo" and "OK" is "KO"
the rest of the sentence is fine. or the rest of the paragraph, it seems to inly happen when I first select a text field or when I have been idle for mor ethan 30 seconds. this happens in all apps. Mail, Firefox, Textedit etc.
i have not yet unplugged the rest of my USB peripherals but that is my next step.
Ihave a ADF scanner, multifuncion printer, logitech wireless mouse, usb plantronics headset, iMo 7" USB monitor. running os 10.7.2
just upgraded and everything was fine in 10.6.x.
anyone else experience this?
thanks
Steve

I have similar problems with an Apple Wireless Keyboard (Bluetooth) and a MacBook Pro since installing Lion I am running 10.7.2 also. See https://discussions.apple.com/message/16701228#16701228 for more detail. I think it's a bug in Lion.

This is normal auto-completion. You can stop it for this person by going to to menu Window>Previous recipients and locating their name in the list and removing it.
I can't answer as to the other issue - I just tested it with my account and it worked as expected.

I deleted a specific website from the "History" and used "forget this site" but it still shows up when I type the first letter of the site. How do I delete it?

I am not computer savvy. I don't want to clear all my history, just one specific site. I deleted it, its cookies, passwords and everything and when I type the first letter of the website in, it shows up as one of the options for websites. I need to delete it, but how?

Maybe these will help?

It's possible the website is in your bookmarks and when you type in some letters in the Location Bar that match that bookmark, it is coming up from there.

Why is it when I type the first few letters it suggest (in voice) the word? Where do I go to stop it on the new 7?

Why is it that when I go to send a message and type the first two letters the phone speaks a suggested word to use? Where do I go to change this?

Bo to Settings > General > Accessablility > Voice Over and switch it off.
If you want some VoiceOver access, then within the Voice Over section switch off "Speak hints"

How can I restore automatic display & selection of addresses of contacts when I type the first letter on my Yahoo addressee bar?

When filling out the addressees (T0, Cc, and Bcc bars) on a new mail in Yahoo, I would type the first few letters of each addressee, and get a display of the names and e-mail addresses starting with those letters. I would simply highlight the ones I wanted to include, and these would be automatically placed on the corresponding bar. For some reason, this display/autotext is not functioning. So I now have to go to "Contacts" to look up addresses that I haven't memorized.

Hi Silky-Milky!
If I understand your question correctly, you are attempting to merge your contacts from your previous phone's backup into your iCloud account, then go back to using your new phone as normal, with the new merged database of contacts. I have an article that can tell you how to do exactly that:
Recovering iCloud or MobileMe data from iTunes backups for an iOS device

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

How do I stop the google search remembering what places I have been when I type in a letter. I don't really want all the options for that letter showing up when I type the first letter of the search if I am using the computer with someone else

Hi,
The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox ''Help'' menu and select ''Submit Feedback...'' or use [https://input.mozilla.org/feedback this link]. Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.
Wrong place to try.
I am sorry but Firefox 29 / Australis Development, and design policy decisions are again off topic on this forum. (We did initially temporarily suspend that forum policy so that people had a chance to say something)
I am sorry but we are only fellow users of Firefox there are no Developers here to see or answer these questions. It only diverts attention and effort from trying to help users with problems.
Please See for example a long recently closed thread.
* ''The I-do-not-like-Firefox-29-layout topic'' [/questions/998106]
That thread includes
*A quote of a developer's comment,
* Suggestions of where you may discuss this, or post feedback
*Helpful information for those with problems from the Firefox 29 changes
* An extract of current forum rules
If you need help and wish to continue using the current Release of Firefox please post another question making that clear and we will do our best to help
If you post again it would help to know the exact message you got and possibly a screenshot (Forum software does not permit screen shots on the first post but you could link to a site with the screenshot on)
I will close this thread as off topic.

When i type in a word extra numbers are being added

When I type anything on the laptop - including the log-in password there are additional characters (nubers) that are appearing. Anyone any ideas

Take a look at VLOOKUP in the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide.
You'll also find several discussions here on essentially the same question by searching for VLOOKUP. Also check the More Like This list to the right of these messages.

Why do I get a period when I type the first letter in the search box

Every time I type a letter in the search box to start a search I get a period. If I leave it there Firefox will not give any returns on the search. This not a huge problem, but it is pain to have to remove it every time

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

When I open Firefox, the Google screen comes on. Then I type the first letter of my search and up pops up possible searches. How can I delete some of these choices?

How can I block some of the past searches on Google when I start to type the first few letters of past searches?

If you want to remove saved form data from a drop down list then use these steps:
#Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
#Highlight an entry in the drop down list

I have version 3.6.16 and when I login to my hotmail account, and type the first letter of the email address, a drop down box appears with my hotmail address and I can choose it from that box with a click. How do I get version 4 to do this? Thanks.

The new but not-ready-for-prime-time autocomplete method searches for matches that contain the entered text, not just ones that begin with the string. Your options are:
1) type in longer strings that narrow the search
2) use an add-on to search just the beginnings:

I "reply"ed to an e-mail message. The next time when I chose to write a new message and type the first letter of the person I replied to earlier, that name and e-mail address appears as a choice included in a pop up list of my contacts.

The next time when I chose to write a new message and type the first letter of the person I replied to earlier, that name and e-mail address appears as a choice included in a pop up list of my contacts. The persons name is not in my contacts and I would like to delete it from popping up. Do you know how I can do this?

The Mail app on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch does have an option to clear previous recipients. You can learn to live with it. But if you want to get rid of it, the only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is restoring the iPhone/iPod Touch as a new phone/iPod. If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.
This article shows you the screens you will see during the restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

When downloading a file, only the first word of the attached file is included in the 'file name' field, not the entire file name, as it used to.

Regardless of filetype, only the first word of the file is filled into the "Enter name of file to save to..." dialog box. I'm set up to 'save file' in the FF Options > Applications tab for the basic MS and Adobe files. To successfully use/find the downloaded file, I type in the remainder of the file name. Have I overlooked an additional setting? Running FF 18.0 on a Win7 PC.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

The system doesn’t recognize or capitalize the word (I) or the first word of every sentence. Another really annoying thing about the integrated mail on your Mac computers is the fact that the system learns the word as you type it more and more instead of highlighting it as incorrectly is this is a word that’s being misspelled. Can Apple fix this bug to make it user friendly as if you were using Office or a Word Document?

You hit the target CT.
It’s only fair that if Apple is going to integrate Mail into Mac PCs, it would be nice if the system does it for you like Office or perhaps Outlook. I just don’t to use Outlook although I have it installed and ready to use, but instead use Mail which comes with Mac OS already.
I hope to make some sense here.

In my case it seems that Firefox just doesn't "see" (or can't find?) the coupon printer application anymore after the FF update. (and yes, my add-ons are enabled - to answer the tech support people's first question).
For me, the coupon printer doesn't even show up in my Firefox "Add-Ons" list anymore. Is that what people typically see when they're saying the coupon printer "doesn't work" with FF? The coupon printer was visible on the add-ons list before my FF update, and now it's totally Gone! It seems that Firefox just doesn't "see" (or can't find?) the coupon printer application anymore since the FF update.
When I'm on the coupons.com site and I click "print coupons", it tells me I haven't installed the application. But it Is installed on my computer, I can see it in my folders, and it works on IE, so it's definitely there.
BTW - I have uninstalled/reinstalled the coupon printer application. I have tried all the suggestions on the Mozilla help/forum sites, as well as the Coupons.com web site. I have closed and re-started Firefox after the installation. I have also shut down and restarted my pc after installation. I tried installing the application with Firefox open, and tried it again with Firefox closed. I've even cleared out all my cookies/history associated with Coupons.com.
... I can't think of anything else to try, except for the "solution" of using IE for coupons.
If it Really is a problem on the Coupon.com end of things, do you think it's worth it if we bombard the coupons.com support team with messages saying they need to fix the problem? (or just a waste of time?) ;(
